English text

1. When the pathway of duty seems with danger filled,
And the charms of worldly beauty almost win my feeble will,
Whole I see the cross uplifted, and I hear the King’s command,
I will go, if my Father holds my hand.

Chorus
I will go, I will go,
Though the mountains are high and the valleys low,
I will go, I will go,
I will go, if my Father holds my hand.

2. If my Father holds my hand, I can keep the narrow way,
If my Father holds my hand, I will never go astray.
Though oft it is so dark I can hardly find the way,
I will go, if my Father holds my hand.

3. Though my strength is weak, by his grace I will seek
To repose like Mary at the Savior’s feet;
Then to climb to the heights of the pure delight,
I will go, if my Father holds my hand.

4. When in the vale of sorrow I am called to go,
And it seems each tomorrow simply brings another woe,
I am satisfied to follow where he leads, this I know,
I will go, if my Father holds my hand.

5. When the awful waves of Jordan beat upon my soul,
In the icy hands of death my limbs are growing cold,
I have nothing then to fear if my Lord is near,
I will go, if my Father holds my hand.
